Janky-A Rigs of Doom

Whats that dollar sized amplifier? And the size of the bag end cab?
We could just issue a form asking for three different references.
Maybe set up one of those "Captcha" I-am-not-a-bot pages with a photo of the Chöadhammer, where you have to type what it is into the little field...?
That sounds like a sensible solution, which is why we can't use it. We have to make the process obtuse and time consuming. It's not like just anybody can buy an old beat up amp and post a picture from their phone online - there are rules and procedures people!
If you're talking about the room, sure, but no dings cab and minty Class D ain't no jank.
How's this? Weighs maybe 5 pounds, and is ten inches high when in full-stack.
What's so hard to comprehend? Jank is one step from junk but still in service.
Nano-Rigs of Doom is where to post your little rigs.

You're just encouraging him. It's not janky, it's tiny.
If it's from Radio Shack, there's some latent jank by default.
Although I admire your effort, your project seems a bit too nice for jank. But it does qualify as a Nano Rigs of Doom. Well done though.
If you could happily drop the ChöadHammer on it from 10ft and piss on it then throw a bag of flour over it and dust it off, not sure it wouldn't look or smell any different, you are sure to be welcome in the hall of Janky-A rigs.
i present to you my mini bass stack o'doom
head is an acoustic 140 somebody chopped off one of the preamps from and put in a smaller headshell that i purchased off of here. used the original double flatted pots and preamp board to replace another 140 that i sold. this one has all modern production jellybean transistors in the preamp and normal solid shaft pots (hence the knobs). two speaker cabinets were from my kustom pa but i ripped out the stock speakers and replaced with organ pull pyle driver 12" speakers i had to replace the foam surrounds on. being my first time i used wood glue instead of more appropriate adhesives so they look extra crappy and kinda buzz but a killer rig with my fuzz in front
when i wanna go bigger i use this acoustic 105 cabinet that i replaced the original eminence alnico speakers (one needs a new voice coil) with more pyle driver organ speakers. much better job with the surrounds (two foam and two hemp)
on top of that is a 70s traynor pa i modified so i could cabbage the channels with patch cables on the back, modified the bax eqs on each channel for endless tweaking, and put a switch to bypass the reverb tank so that the footswitchable reverb can be used as a footswitchable boost. this is what started my love affair with old solid state amps pushed into distortion. had to remove that circuit breaker switch because just as the tone got nice and cranked it would trip
